Israel is currently fighting a demographic war for survival as a Jewish State. Demographic projections forecast an Arab majority in Israel by the year 2020!
Every year Efrat brings over 1,500 Jewish children into Israel in what we call an "Inner Aliyah". From its humble office in Jerusalem and tiny staff Efrat brings more Jews into Israel every year than the entire Aliyah from North America. At a cost of only $1,000 per "Oleh" Efrat is a bargain compared to other Aliyah projects and we need not pay for housing or airfare as the potential Olim are already in Israel just waiting to be born!
Last year, with its 1.75 million dollar budget Efrat saved the lives of 1,658 Jewish children costing Efrat about $1,000 per case. It is estimated that as many as half of the 50,000 abortions in Israel every year could be prevented if the women were offered financial and social help. There is thus a potential to save the lives of tens of thousands of Jewish children each year which would create a badly needed wave of Aliyah - an "Inner Aliyah"!
